Top issues during term (9)(Environment)

Part of $1.5 million Council appropriated in October 2025 will go to consultant services for the review.
BP Carbon Offsets
About $300,000 a year could be redirected to local climate projects.
water restrictions
You can save money on emergency conservation measures and stop stressing about high-priced lawn maintenance.
Solar power purchase agreements for CHS and CMS
